Sundays - I was even job hunting on Christmas Day (only because I went online to look up something). This afternoon, I received a call from an agency who had seen my details on Caterer.com as they wanted to put me forward for a job in Event Sales - I have an interview with them on Wednesday morning.

Me too - had to take my laptop to my sisters and spent a few hours looking as if it was any other day.
Good luck for Wednesday

That's all well and good, but you could find that jobs often times will receive more applicants than they can cope with and will close the process, meaning all that hard work you've put in (which in it's own right is pretty admirable) goes to nothing. In a lot of cases people can fill in up to 50 application forms weekly as that's the required process which doesn't generally take all that long, especially if you're used to filling them in.

I heard from one agency who told me they never even got to my CV as had far too many people send C's in they stopped reading them.

If they have more applicants than they can cope with (as I have had recently) then the people who take the time to tailor their covering letter and show they understand the role are the ones more likely to get an interview..more so than the standard covering letter template, which I am sure we have all been guilty of from time to time.
